Exciting News Inside, Chums!

An April Ood.1

A serious and good philosophical work could
be written consisting entirely of jokes.

Me:Well, this is unexpected and
exciting.A ‘double whammy’ if you will.

Him:Whooo!

Me:That’s right.I was branching out into reading websites and
listening to podcasts made by other Doctor
Who – what are they called?‘Whonatics’, or something.Anyway, there’s a particular podcast called Radio Free Skarowhich seems to be quite popular.Run by some lovely lads from Canadia, I
think.Anyway, imagine my surprise when
I realise that they’ve nicked the same version of the theme tune that we-That we’ve been using.So, we’ve had to change it really.

Him:We didn’t nick it.

Me:No, fair enough.It was the only one that made us both dance though.

Him:Yeah!Dance!

Me:I best apologise for the
Him.I’m writing this yesterday and he’s
just eaten his weight in eggy chocolate.

Him:1932!A.M!1

Me:Right.So, after a bit of thinking I realised that I
had access to a version of the Doctor Who
theme that no-one else, whether they be fans or not, would ever have used on
anything noticeably linked to Doctor Who.

Him:Would they have danced to
it?

Me:Doctor Who fans?

Him:Anybody?

Me:Statistically speaking…Yes.I
believe it was popular in small pockets of resistance hidden around Cardiff and
select chunks of Wales; parts of America; the more pierced parts of Europe –
places like that.Even Lun Dun.

Him:That’s a bit prejudiced.

Me:Yeah, like you would ever
say that.So, imaginary creature, tell
the nice lady and gentleman about our special surprise.

The
Him makes a noise like a rabbit becoming a slipper.1

Him:I’d like you to capture
that.

Me:I’ll do my best.Now then.The surprise?

Him:
It’s a
guest.A special guest.

Me: That’s right.Someone who’s been involved with Doctor Who for longer than you’d think.

Him:I think I can hear him.He’s broken out of his box.

Me:He has indeed.And there he goes, out the window and back to
Cardiff.Good luck to him.He’s forgotten his shoes.Anyway.Slightly below this is a clicky link that’ll take you to our special
present.Hope you’ve both had a great
Easter and enjoyed that new Who last
night.It was certainly a lot better
than I was expecting.

Him:And it even had our special
guest in it.Ha!That makes it sound like it’s the Maggot of
Patience!

Me:Ho ho ho.It does indeed.But we could never afford his appearance
fee.Especially with the Second Effort
of The Green Death on the horizon.
